Well, it has been a while since the last time I posted anything, and you are probably wondering, "Where are all those sweet treats you promised us?"I have continued to do my weekly baking projects with Ava, but we have either made really basic stuff or the recipes have flopped. This brought up the dilemma of should I blog about a flop if I promised a treat? In the end I decided that every baking experience is a treat for me, because of the time spent with Ava.
I thought it would be fun to chose a book that Ava and I could work from. Since it will now be more like a recipe review, there will be no pressure for it to be a success. I chose" Southern Living's Best Loved Cookies-50 melt in your mouth Southern morsels" There are several reasons why I chose this book. The first is that when I flipped through the pages I saw a lot of pictures of cookies with chocolate. The second reason was that everything seemed so rich and gooey, like the type of food you could eat and get that warm comforting feeling inside (does that make me an emotional eater ?). Last of all, the recipes looked fairly easy. I don't want to go out and buy weird costly ingredients that I will use one time.
My goal is to make at least 20 recipes from this book. I don't think it should be too hard, as a lot of the recipes were very appealing to me:) The only thing I am concerned about is my waistline =O
